We have already had the chance of spotting the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 out in the wild. Reportedly. From the looks of it, the metal-clad phone could be featuring what seem to be dual cameras, though we are still not convinced the lower cutout is not intended for a fingerprint scanner.

Anyway, a newly-leaked retail box that the Redmi Note 4 allegedly arrive in gives us a pretty good sneak peek at what the specs of the device could be.

It would probably be a 5.5", LTE-enabled device with a MediaTek Helio X20 chipset clicking and ticking under the hood.

Next up, the retail box suggests 3GB of RAM and 64GB of native storage on board. Right at the back, there will be a 4,100mAh juicer keeping the lights on.

The retail box suggests there will be a 13MP rear and a 5MP front-facing camera. There's no mention of anything dual camera-related here, though. This makes us think that the previously leaked Redmi Note 4 pic could have been a masterfully-edited image. Of course, we could be totally mistaken; Xiaomi is totally capable of putting a Mi 5-like home button up front, with the fingerprint scanner embedded right beneath it.

That's pretty much we can squeeze out from the leaked image. As a reminder, the device will probably go official on July 27, so we'll have to wait for 9 more days to find out if these leaked specs are any true.

Three years ago, Motorola gave smartphone shoppers an affordable new budget option in the form of the first-gen Moto G. In the years since, we've seen the Moto G really grow up, in more ways than one. Not only has the Moto G grown from a 4.5-incher to its current 5.5-inch screen size, but it's also become a more and more capable handset, and one delivering an ever-growing number of configuration options.

That's more true than ever in 2016 with the arrival of the Moto G4 family, offering three distinct base models, including the Moto G4 Plus, which pushes the limit with some flagship-caliber specs like 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, laser-assisted auto-focus, and a fingerprint scanner. While it's always nice to see a manufacturer making its phones more capable, has the Moto G lost some of its mid-range underdog charm along the way?

We've been spending some time with two of the three new Moto G4 models, the standard Moto G4 itself and the higher-end Moto G4 Plus, in the interest of finding out. Is this family still a smart choice for smartphone shoppers looking to keep costs low? Is it worth splurging on the Plus model's upgrades? Read on to find out.

Introductory guide

Safety notice

The Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are two phones cut from the same cloth, with nearly identical appearance. Both phones represent a significant departure from last year's Moto G design, dropping the speaker underneath the display and instead moving it up top to the earpiece, and revamping the rear dimple/camera layout: while the iconic Motorola dimple is back, this time it's a part of the removable back panel itself, and lives separate from the camera assembly above it.

That removable back panel may allow for some after-market Moto G4 customization, but the real action takes place before you even get the phone out of its box. Motorola's Moto Maker online tool allows shoppers to personalize their handsets with options for alternate front bezel colors, camera accents, and yes – even the back panel (which you can also get engraved with a short message). It would have been nice for those back panels to feature a range of material options in addition to the all colors currently available, but for a budget phone the variety available isn't bad at all.

While the Moto G4 is far from alone in the 5.5-inch space, there's something about Motorola's design that makes these handsets feel slightly larger than most – and if we were forced to try and pin that down, the big, round curves around the handsets' edge may have a lot to do with that. Despite their size, these phones feel seriously light, and we almost wish they came in a little more substantial than they do with their shared 155g mass.

Motorola's clear that neither G4 is waterproof nor intended to be submerged, but the phones still get a water-repellant nano-coating to help keep them functional through the occasional light splash – just don't go nuts.

Two Nokia Android phones sporting 2K screens, SD 820 and IP68 certification leaked

Back in May, it was revealed that the Nokia name would once again return to the smartphone scene, featured on devices made by the Finnish manufacturer HMD global. This news generated waves of excitement in the mobile tech scene, so we made a poll asking our readers whether they thought Nokia could succeed in today's oversaturated Android smartphone market. The majority of you answered with “Yes, absolutely!”, and if the latest rumors are anything to go by, then there really might be a reason for excitement.

The latest leak suggests that there are two Nokia-branded devices in the works – a 5.2-inch and a 5.5-inch smartphone – both of which will reportedly sport a robust and premium metallic design evocative of the famous “Nokia feel” that we have been yearning for. Both handsets will reportedly be powered by Snapdragon 820 CPUs and will be IP68 certified – like the Galaxy S7, S7 Active and S7 Edge – which means complete dust resistance and protection from immersion in up to 3 ft of water for 30 minutes.

As far as screens go, the 5.2- and 5.5-inch sizes have been confirmed by two separate sources – Nokia Power User (NPU) and GizmoChina – though the latter claims 2K resolution for both, while the former states that “while display resolution is not confirmed yet we can expect a QHD resolution OLED display” on both devices.

As far as the camera department goes, the bigger of the two phones is expected to feature a 22.6MP rear shooter. The sensors on both could be the “most sensitive ever and will be based upon Nokia’s extensive research on wonder material Graphene”, NPU claims.

According to GizmoChina, the two Nokia handsets will launch in China, with the bigger of the two going on sale for around $500. The new Nokia smartphones are expected to be unveiled toward the end of 2016 but could be pushed to a Q1 2017 launch.

Enjoying the feel of that sparkly new rose gold iPhone 6S in your hand, and the joy of 3D Touch? We don’t want to spoil that love affair, but Apple’s already working on the iPhone 7 — and rumors about it are beginning to heat up.

Here’s what we think we know about Apple’s next major smartphone release so far.

Apple could make some big changes on the iPhone 7’s spec sheet. The latest rumor from 9to5Mac hints that the next iPhone may finally come with a minimum of 32GB of storage. The news comes from one IHS Technology analyst, whose sources and research seem to confirm that Apple will finally increase the amount of storage on the base iPhone model.

Up until the iPhone 6S, Apple’s phones only sported 1GB of RAM, even though many Android competitors used 3 or 4GB of RAM in their flagship phones. Now reports hint that the iPhone 7 will get even more RAM than the 6S, with rumors of 3GB of RAM popping up for the iPhone 7 Plus. The claim has been made more than once, and TrendForce is the latest to join the fray.

The well known tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also chimed in on the iPhone 7 with another report, claiming the phone will run on a new A10 chip built entirely by TSMC, a Taiwanese chip manufacturer that has worked with Apple in the past (and built some of the current A9 processors).

He also claims the iPhone 7 Plus will have 3GB of RAM, while the iPhone 7 will only use 2GB. Foxconn will apparently manufacture the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and it should launch toward the end of this year, Kuo said

Two Policemen Killed, Others Injured During MASSOB Protest

Two policemen were reportedly killed during a protest organized by the Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) in Asaba, Delta State. SaharaReporters learned that a clash between MASSOB members and the police occurred following a police vehicle responding to the protesters, resulting in at least two police officers dying and several others with serious injuries. According to eyewitness, the MASSOB members damaged the police patrol vehicle, vandalizing the windscreen and doors, then overpowered the police who fled in different directions.

"The police used tear gas on the MASSOB members as they were protesting along Anwai road this morning, so they got angry and attack the police team. The MASSOB overpowered one policeman, beat him up and stab him to death while another was shot dead and other fled with severe wounds. The dead policemen and other victims of the clash were taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Asaba in a police patrol vehicle and currently receiving treatments at the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba" the eyewitness stated.

A FMC nurse told SaharaReporters that only one policeman has been confirmed dead while two others sustained injuries and were rushed to the hospital.

"So far, three policemen were brought in this morning, one was brought in dead with multiple stab wounds, the other two are being treated," the nurse stated.

Meanwhile a similar clash was reported at the River Niger Bridge on the border between Delta and Anambra States, when a group of MASSOB members clashed with a police team.

A police source who confided in SaharaReporters, disclosed that MASSOB members had attacked some policemen at the bridge head, overpowering two of them, before throwing them into the river.

"We have been able to retrieve one of them from the river. He was brought out unconscious, and rushed to the hospital, however, the second victim is still missing" the police source said.

When contacted, the acting Delta State Police Command Spokesman, Charles Mouka however declined to confirm the casualty figur

EFCC Traces $20bn Missing Oil Cash To Jonathan’s Campaign

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has traced the diversion of the substantial part of the missing $20billion oil cash to the 2015 electioneering campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The anti-graft agency discovered how the cash was transferred and wired into secret accounts for political purposes.

It was learnt that the EFCC has made “appreciable progress” in recovering a huge chunk of the cash.
Former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (now Emir of Kano
Muhammadu Sanusi II) raised the alarm that there was an estimated $20bn shortfall in oil revenues due to the treasury from the state oil company which might have been spent illegally.

The EFCC latest discovery is said to be part of the ongoing “comprehensive” probe of a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.

A source close to the investigator, said: “We have tracked a substantial part of the missing $20billion about which the former CBN Governor raised the alarm.

“From our findings, the oil money was diverted. We will soon make the details available.

“As for those being invited for interrogation on campaign funds, we have been able to establish that the amounts in question were strictly government funds.

“Whatever noise anyone is making is baseless. We are determined to recover these funds from all the beneficiaries.

“Some of the suspects have refunded the cash credited to them and some still have outstanding funds to pay.”

The highly-placed source said the EFCC was not targeting PDP leaders at all.
He said if there is any evidence of government funds spent on the campaign of other political parties, we will “investigate too”.

In 2014, Sanusi told members of the Senate Committee on Finance at the National Assembly in Abuja that $20billion was missing.

He said: “It is established that of the $67 billion crude shipped by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), between January 2012 and July 2013, $47 billion was remitted to the Federation Account.”

“It is now up to NNPC, given all the issues raised, to produce the proof that the $20billion unremitted either did not belong to the Federation or was legally and constitutionally spent.”

Mrs Alison-Madueke denied that $20billion was missing.

She said: “When the former CBN Governor came up with the allegation that about $49.8bn of crude oil sales proceeds were not remitted by NNPC, we swung into action with all the relevant agencies to reconcile the figures.

“When we reconciled the figures down to $10.8bn and some agencies were having a different figure of $12bn, we insisted that the reconciliation must continue because there was still an anomaly; we said we must get down to the bottom of the matter to find out what is really amiss.

“We appeared before the Senator Makarfi Commttee to defend ourselves over the fresh allegation of unremitted $20bn. We put our papers forward. The Makarfi Committee then went through all the evidence supplied by all the relevant agencies and found that there was no missing $20billion.

“Despite the fact that the Makarfi Committee declared that no money was missing, the opposition kept insisting that $20bn was missing and they were calling us names.”

While receiving APC chieftains from Adamawa in April 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari promised to probe the whereabouts of the $20billion.

He said: “Going by the huge sum of money involved, there was no way an APC-led administration that has the fight against corrupt practices as a cardinal objective would sit by and watch some highly placed Nigerians loot the treasury.”
